Universal Pack: sustainable, high-performance solutions for single-dose packaging at interpack 2026

At Interpack 2026, Universal Pack will present its latest single-dose packaging technologies, with a focus on sustainability, performance and process safety. The company will exhibit in Hall 16, Stand B42, highlighting solutions developed for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and chemical applications.

A long-established specialist in vertical VFFS machines and complete lines for sachets and stick-packs, Universal Pack continues to position sustainability as a core development driver. Its systems are designed to process compostable, recyclable and recycled laminates, supported by Life Cycle Assessment studies and material testing carried out in collaboration with film manufacturers, multinational groups and university research centres.

The aim is to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing efficiency, compliance or pack quality.

Among the key machines on display in Düsseldorf will be a new stick-pack line equipped with integrated robotic pick-and-place, upgraded stick conveying and counting, and a high-performance cartoning and closing system.

The line is intended for manufacturers handling freeflowing and non-free-flowing powders, as well as sauces and liquids, and supports dual dosing, including two recipes in the same stick-pack. It also offers broad format flexibility, with multiple carton formats and 10- to 100-count configurations, while reaching outputs of up to 60 boxes per minute, depending on format. The line also features 100% inline weight checking, automatic reject and feedback functions, exportable production data and full batch traceability.

Also on show will be the Theta four-side-seal sachet machine, designed for high-speed production while maintaining sealing quality. Proven at up to 150 cycles per minute, Theta uses an innovative horizontal sealing system that can handle thicker films and sustainable laminates, including recyclable and compostable structures, by extending sealing time while working at lower sealing temperatures. With dedicated cooling solutions, it is particularly suited to heat-sensitive food products and formulations.

The display will be completed by Alfa Flexi, Universal Pack’s most versatile stick-pack machine. Designed for contract packers and manufacturers with diversified production, it enables rapid stick-width adjustment, quick changeover from powders to liquids, genuine multi-format capability and tool-free format changes, helping reduce downtime and improve efficiency in short runs and frequent SKU changeovers.

Universal Pack will also spotlight Universal Lab, its in-house laboratory, which supports material and product analysis to ensure full compatibility between packaging systems and packaged products.

Founded in 1965, Universal Pack marks 60 years of innovation in single-dose packaging, with over 8,000 systems installed in 160 countries and more than 3,000 customers worldwide.

Backed by continuous investment in automation, Industry 4.0 and sustainable technologies, the company will welcome visitors at Interpack 2026 (Hall 16, Stand B42) to present solutions for a more efficient and sustainable future.
